I LOVE my Motorolas - I must just have good luck w/ them. I, like ZTAngel, had the StarTac, which I got December of 1999. It lasted me until about March 2003, when the connection in the earpiece fizzled and I couldn't hear people talking but they could hear me.
I now have the V60i and it's great. It's all scratched up from where I've dropped it several times.

But it's still going strong.
My husband, when we upgraded our plans in July 2002, got a Nokia, the one w/ the joystick (that's all I remember about it), b/c it was free. That died b/c he kept it in his pocket, and it's not an open/close phone, so it was constantly stressed out. (Poor phone!). He now has my same phone, except w/ a newer version of the software, and his has dropped calls and low signal bars all the time. He's very frustrated w/ it.
I have no information about your particular phone though. Just wanted to give a plug for Motorola.
